Ladies and Gentlemen

1. I welcome you all to this important meeting, coming on the heels of the just-concluded Area Council election in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the bye-elections in Kano Municipal and Ungogo State Constituencies of Kano State and in Ahoada East II and Khana II State Constituencies of Rivers State. Let me begin by appreciating the Commission, particularly our colleagues in the FCT, Kano and River States, for the successful conduct of the election held on Saturday, 21st February 2026. The election was generally peaceful. Results were announced promptly, with the exception of Kuje Area Council, where the difficult terrain in Kabi Ward understandably delayed final collation until Sunday afternoon. As of 2:00 pm on Sunday, over 93% of polling unit results had been uploaded to the INEC Result Viewing (IReV) Portal, underscoring our commitment to transparency once again.
